We were recently blessed with the relese of her newest single 11:11 (on 11/11, Ha!), learned about her upcoming acting gig on CSI and we were SO excited to EXCLUSIVELY chat with her about the truth in those engagement rumors!

Now, we bring you some more EXCLUSIVE news from Jordin about her upcoming album, how she loves acting, and her fresh new sound!!!!

Ch-ch-check out the what she told us…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

On 11:11 being a glimpse of what's to come:

"I recorded [11:11] last year and I was talking to Salaam [Remi], who produced it, and I was like, ‘wouldn’t it be fun to be able to put it out on 11/11?’ I wanted to be able to put it out for my fans to hear. I just love giving them little glimpses and I definitely think that it is exactly that — it’s a glimpse.

It’s not going to be completely all that, because an album full of just [songs like] that would be pretty tiring! You’d probably fall asleep! But it’s been really fun to experiment with different sounds and it has been a while since I’ve put out a record."

On her different sound this time around:

"I’ve grown up and I’m in love and I’m confident in my own skin! So there’s a lot of things that I’ve written about and songs that I’ve found, that I really, really know it’s going to be different for me. You know, it might not be as shocking for another artist, but for me — because of where I was with my last record — it’s definitely a departure from that!"

On acting more:

"Opportunities with acting have been popping up and it’s been something that I can’t ignore — I absolutely love it — so hopefully in the future, we’ll get that music out! But for now, to be able to give people a taste of what’s to come has been a lot of fun!"

Zayn previewed the duet by posting a black and white pic of himself with Swifty on his Instagram -- but hey, she is bestiez with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, so it wouldn't be unusual that they hang out... But collab?!
